Marshfield Fire Chief Kevin Robinson says a weekend boating accident which has rocked the community reinforces the need for boating safety classes and life preservers.

Authorities are still trying to locate the body of 23-year-old Steven “Zac” Woods, who went missing Saturday after he and another boater were ejected from a boat near the Brant Rock section of Marshfield. Justin McDonald, the operator was rescued by a kayaker, but Woods was not found.

Friends and family are trying to come to terms with the fate of the missing boater, who is feared dead.

McDonald is facing a charge of operating a boat while under the influence, after admitting to police on Saturday, that he was “buzzed,” but not drunk while returning from the spit to Green Harbor on Saturday.

Great local savings!

WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over three full decades. The idea for the station in Marshfield emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol Ebert Perry and Edward Perry made in December of 1972.Click here to learn more...
